Summary
“It doesn’t matter now anyway,” John interrupts. “I need to talk to you about something,” his eyes flit back to Jess. “Alone.”
“No,” Sam steps back, winds an arm around her waist. He’s tense, she can feel him vibrating against her. She squeezes him back, subtly. “You have something to say, you say it here.”
She can see the conflict play out over John’s face. He’s stubborn, she’s sensing that’s probably where Sam gets it from, but there’s something else at play here, something that had him breaking into his estranged son’s apartment after four years.
“It’s your brother,” he says eventually, and Jess feels Sam’s sharp inhale like an electric shock. “He’s on a hunting trip, and he hasn’t been home in a few days.”
It's season one! Or is it season 4? I'm confused. Let's find out together!

Summary
“Dean,” Jim’s reached them, and he’s staring at the angriest man like he’s seen a ghost. “It’s really you.”
“Dean?” Adam blinks at the man – his other brother – and it all slides into place. “The one who ran away?”
Dean’s eyebrows shoot up for a moment and then come back down into a frown as he stares at Adam and it feels a bit like he’s being x-rayed. He stares back, tries not to find it intimidating to be glared at by some old guy who doesn’t even look like his dad that much – not really – and is apparently the brother Adam didn’t even know he had until he was ten.
“Ran away?” Dean looks over to Jim, and Adam’s never seen a priest wilt before. “I thought lying was a sin.”Adam's dad just died, but that seems to be the least of his problems.
technically a sequel, but it makes sense on its own i think.

Summary
“I just realised,” Sam says, and she thinks he might be lying. “I guess I was too busy to give it much thought at the time, but do you know who wasn’t in Dean’s heaven? Dad.”
“That can’t be true,” Mary crosses her arms. “Dean and John were always…”
“I know, it’s weird isn’t it?” Sam says. He’s toying with his bottle, rolling it from hand to hand. She notices it but she doesn’t know what it means, not the way John probably did. Not the way Dean would. “And they spent so much time together too, you’d think some of it must’ve been happy. But I guess that’s Dean and dad in a nutshell: normal enough on the surface, but scratch that away and all you find are secrets.”Ressurected (again) in a clumsy attempt at divine redemption (again) and stuck in the happily ever after part of the story, Mary does her best to cope with the motherhood she can never quite remember wanting. But Dean won’t stop screaming in his sleep, and Jack won’t stop trying to fix him and there’s a storm in the distance that won’t stop brewing.
It'll probably all be fine. -

Summary
“Dean?”
“Hi Mr Bobby,” Dean’s voice is hoarse, barely more than a whisper. It’s the first time Bobby’s heard him speak. His cheeks are flushed. He might have been crying. Sam presses close behind him, face snotty and puffy. He’s definitely been crying. “Can we come in?”
“I…where’s your dad?” Bobby asks, squinting further into the dark as if that will make John Winchester appear.
“He had to be quick,” Dean is looking at his shoes. They’re muddy. “He dropped us at the top of your road. We walked.”
“It was scary,” Sam says from behind him, his voice shrill and loud compared to his brother’s. “And dark. I fell.”
“Oh,” Both boys are shivering, and Bobby feels like a monster: keeping them in the cold. “Then I guess you gotta come in.”Or, Bobby and his boys: through the years.

Summary
"There, naked in the back of Julian’s truck, with his hands in Julian’s long hair (both a little dizzy and sick with the taste of each other underneath the stolen whisky and cigarettes) it was easy to forget about the class they were blowing off, about Julian’s grandma and her secret whisky, his mom and the gun under her bed. Easy to forget about John and his absent presence, Sam and his sun burn, the gun under Dean’s bed and the things he’d killed with it, Oregon, Wyoming, the smoke, the nuns and everything else that had led to them; and everything else that was coming."
it's 1996, it's the arizona desert and it's hot. The Winchesters are leaving town tomorrow, and everyone in this shitty motel knows about it. Dean shares cigarettes that aren't his, Sam shares some secrets that aren't his either. John doesn't share his whisky. Overall, they've probably all had better nights.
A Bush era title for a Clinton era fic.

Summary
"When Dean concentrates, he can still feel the dampness on his knees, the aching in his jaw, the taste of rubber. The other tastes too – of skin and salt and blood. Sounds: mattress springs, distant trucks, skin on skin, humming streetlights, swearing and grunting. He remembers some dateless, freezing night: warm skin, hot breath, murmured praises. Wiping his mouth, counting his money, walking home along the freeway, looking up at the stars.
(God was looking back at you then.)"Dean, sex, work, sex work, love, family, and god. Let's mix it all up and see what comes out, eh?

Summary
“Dean,” he says, beginning to pace up and down – slow and awkward against the current. “Please, tell me you’re not saying that you’re going to…please tell me you’re safe.”
“Of course m’not fucking safe, Sammy, why do you think I called? I thought –” Dean’s voice cracks off. “I thought you’d be able to tell me I’m wrong.”Sam's in California trying to get a life. Dean's in Oregon trying to get a ghost. They talk on the phone.
(The point is that being lonely when you're 20 is exciting but being lonely when you're 24 feels like death)

Summary
“Something will work,” Sam says, like they haven’t tried everything. like God hasn’t been ignoring their prayers. Like the queen of hell wasn’t just sitting in the living room. “We just need to keep looking. We can get him back.”
Through the door is silence. Sam imagines Dean, prone on the bed, blinking fast, trying to let the words mean something.
“We can’t.” Is all he eventually says. “But if you need to keep trying, I’m not going to stop you.”Sam is trying everything he can think of to get Cas back from the empty, and to get his brother out of bed. He's not having much luck with either of those things.

Summary
Dean had died when Cas had, of course, despite the way his heart kept beating. Cas was dead and Dean was dead but there was work to be done. And so, he had moved his legs from place to place because he had to. And he had defeated one God, then beheld the (brief) birth and death of the new one from some hollowed-out portion of his self. It had been awe-inspiring, but the part of him that felt awe had died so he had merely watched, exhausted and thinking that maybe it would end.
And then it hadn’t ended. Nothing had ended; they’d finished the story god wrote but nothing had ended.Cas was dead and then he wasn't. Dean's not sure how to deal with that.

Summary
Maybe the only disadvantage of having killed God is that when a volcano with too many letters in its name explodes in Iceland, trapping your family on the wrong side of the Atlantic for an extra three weeks, there’s no one you can kill or coerce into fixing it for you.
Left alone in the bunker, Dean spirals. (un)fortunately, there's company waiting for him at the bottom of said spiral.
contains quite graphic and frank depictions and discussions of self harm.

Summary
"She’d meant what she’d said (Bert and Ernie are gay) and she hasn’t been fucked in a long time so it’s two birds with one stone, really. Plus, they can finally get that stick out of Cas’ ass by getting him into her – and maybe some divine intervention (penetration?) will chase out the last of the demon smoke and whoever else she’s been carrying inside herself since she was fifteen. And it’s not like Cas isn’t good looking, and it’s not like she hasn’t noticed a flash or spark or something in his eyes during all those meaningful gazes (and unlike all the other men that’ve been looking at her recently, she doesn’t smell sulphur on Cas’ breath) so it’s not like he won’t enjoy this either. The whisky probably helps in this respect – gives her the certainty she needs to get to her feet."
Been thinking recently, for some reason, of the old fandom proverb: "If one of them had tits they'd've fucked 1season in". been thinking of a lot of other stuff too and this is the result.
A reimagining of supernatural if Dean was a girl.
You don’t have to have ready any of the other works in this series for this one to make sense

Summary
“How old are you?” he asks Death.
“As old as God. Or older. It’s not something you’ll be able to conceive,” Death shrugs. He looks at Dean with the pity of a parent. He looks at Dean with the kindness of a giant. “How old are you?”
“Thirty-one,” Dean says, hounds tearing at his skin.
“One,” Dean says, dragging himself from the earth.
“Seventy-one,” Dean says, drenched in blood.
Death regards him, mildly interested. Or amused. Or Sad. “Now you know.” -

Summary
The thing wearing his brother paces the edge of the devil’s trap, smiling slightly. Its eyes – black and empty – sweep the warehouse: taking in the rusting chains, the broken machinery and Cas, haggard but impassive, watching from the side. Its gaze finds the first blade, poking out of Sam’s pocket, before moving upwards. It meets Sam’s eyes and grins at the unbridled anger it finds within them.
“C’mon Sammy, don’t act like you’re not happy to see me.” It drawls. It’s Dean’s voice, Dean’s face, it’s even doing a pretty good impression of Dean’s smile but it’s not Dean. “I know you missed me.”
